New Numbers

[_RT_]

With trading done and dusted and delistings about to be made public it's time for that annual event where we give out new numbers to players. As it stands right now the numbers up for grabs this year are:
16
17 (doubt it will be used)
19
21
26
35
39
42

The moves I would make are:
16. Hampson
19. Mcdonough
21. Arnot
26. O'Hanlon
Get the feeling that Vlastuin will stick with 31.

That would leave 35 36 39 free for the new kids coming in, with 42, 44 & 45 to be given to the rookies.

 

[tigerz18]

16 Hampson

Arnott 21
McDonough 26
O'Hanlon 45 for another year

 

[DrMike]

I stuffed up RT, 19 is free too

 

[strauchy]

Even though its just numbers..what has Mcdonough done to earn a number change?
Arnot 21, Hampson 16
Vlastuin's number suits him and he will probably want to keep it.

Agree he hasn't done a heap but given the clubs desire to give the draftees higher numbers so they earn the lower ones Mcdonough may be moved to free up 36.

Mcbean 17

 

[Bird Man]

no changes, give astbury 42 and give 12 to Mcbean

 

[Deanos]

no changes, give astbury 42 and give 12 to Mcbean

42 is a bit steep, he doesn't deserve 12 but he also doesn't deserve to be banished into the 40's. With Mcbean wait until he plays a game before chucking him 12.

 

[WATiger86]

Harsh. Astbury will be in 12 until he is delisted, time to build a bridge lads...

So another 5 days then

 

[JR82]

would love to see Vlastuin in #17 but he may want to keep #31, maybe Arnott gets an upgrade but no1 else has earn't it yet IMO

 

[theflea]

When do we anticipate our delistings? Mon?

dunno mon, i and i smoke a spliff good and ting, raaasta

 

[Truetiger]

Make up your mind you said no changes and now you want astbury to give up his number haha. Which one is it

 

[Turka]

dunno mon, i and i smoke a spliff good and ting, raaasta

That was real quick and real funny.

 

[Mogwai]

I really like Arnot in 44 though..

 

[THE_GUN]

I really like Arnot in 44 though..

Agreed - I like Arnot in 44 also and think that double numbers look great 11,22,33,44

Also believe that 49 ,39,26 & 22 will also become available after our delistings.

22. Hampson
44. Arnot
17.Vlastuin (offer it to him but think he will stay #31)
1. McBean *when Newy retires*

Leave the rest as is another season

 

[Hipster Doofus]

Not a lot this year. Vlas is suited to 31 and Mcbean hasn't gotten a game yet.

 

[juss]

Vlaustin and 17 just works.

 

[pan_]

1. McBean *when Newy retires*

My thinking.

It'll be like having a self-portrait on his back

 

[captain cotch 9]

Hampson 26, Vlaustin 21, Mcdoungh 19

 

[TO HOT TO HANDLE]

Grimes Rance Morris
Houli Chaplin Vlastuin
Deledio Martin Griffiths
A Edwards Vickery Ellis
Riewoldt Mc Bean Hampson
Maric Jackson Cotchin
Newman Conca Grigg
Sub Foley

 

[bananatigz]

Grimes Rance Morris
Houli Chaplin Vlastuin
Deledio Martin Griffiths
A Edwards Vickery Ellis
Riewoldt Mc Bean Hampson
Maric Jackson Cotchin
Newman Conca Grigg
Sub Foley

possibly the tallest forward line in existence

 

[Wacky Tiger]

Vlaustin and 17 just works.

Yep and in all honesty its more a disservice to the club having noone in it.
\The club tried the whole captain thing and it didnt really work, fair enough some players get attached to their numbers.

Get it backout on the field with 4, 8, 12, 30 and all the other great numbers from our history

 

[Wally Matera]

Not a lot this year. Vlas is suited to 31 and Mcbean hasn't gotten a game yet.

Dont be silly mate... McBean is the Jesus Christ. It wont be long until he will be telling the other 39 blokes what numbers they can have.
